OK...
Well everytime my cars running like crap cuz it feels like my timings off (which it is) I move my distributer cap a little bit and then my car is faster and runs alot better... But then after like a week it goes back to normal.. Is this is sign that i need my timing set the right way, or does this mean I need a new cap and rotor?
Thats what I'm thinking.. I bought my car and never changed it and I dont remember if the guy I bought it from told me he changed it or not..

 

If the cap and rotor are old, replacing them is probably a good idea. As for your timing, see teh label on the front underside of your hood. That will tell you how to adjust it properly

 

I don't ever remember seeing the sticker.. hopefully it's there though..

 

are you unplugging the EST wire its on the passenger side tan w/ a black stripe. you have to unplug that to set the base timing correctly

 

or... if your car is carbeurated, just pull teh four pin connector out of the distributer
